Villa BorgheseRome Tourist Attractions - Villa Borghese Villa
Borghese and its impressive art-gallery
lies only 5 to 10 minutes walk east from the Spanish Steps. Tourists
recover in the green from sightseeing when they enjoy the beautiful
decorated garden which the former cardinal Scipione Borghese (nephew
of Pope Paul V.) resided. Tourists who visit the garden enjoy the
numerous sculptures from the 17th Century. The garden includes a city
zoo, the arena Piazza di Siena, a temple built in antique style, imitations
of medieval castles and an artificial lake. The most humorous element
of this baroque park are malicious splashing fountains, that surprise
the passing pedestrians and spray a load of water over their clothes.
For culture lovers I recommend the visit of the Casino Borghese, a
treasure room full of sculptures and antiques. I also recommend the
Etruski museum in the nearby Villa Giulia with its remarkable Sarkophag
of an embracing married couple from Cerveteri or the Galleria Nazionale
dArte Moderna e Contemporanea. The Galleria Borghese, in which you
will find Bernini’s most famous art work Apollo and Daphne, tourists
often decide to see first. Tickets for the art-gallery can be bought
in advance. Visitors can take part on a tour every two hours. |
